This paper summarizes work that has been done
to examine the impact of the uncertainty and variability of significant installed wind power on the Irish system. As more and more wind power is installed on the system, the ...

Prudent use of existing transmission capacity could be achieved by an optimal allocation of wind capacity to distinct transmission nodes. The statistical interdependency of geographically separate wind sites and the ...

Wind power generation is the fastest growing renewable technology worldwide with large on- and off-shore wind farms being connected to the transmission networks. A significant share of it, however is still being deployed ...

The penetration of DG is increasing on distribution
networks across the world. As a result, networks are
being pushed closer to their operating limits. In particular,
voltage rise has been identified as a key barrier ...

Penetrations of variable renewable generation are increasing globally. While this trend is creating challenges for power systems, improved communication technologies are providing opportunities for the demand side to play ...

The two largest Universities on the Island of
Ireland both have significant power system activities. As part of a major all-island initiative these two groups are working more
closely on joint research and educational ...

As power systems evolve to incorporate greater
penetrations of variable renewables, the demand for flexibility
within the system is increased. Combined Cycle Gas Turbines
(CCGTs) are traditionally considered as inflexible ...

The paper describes the methodology that has been developed for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Republic of Ireland, Eirgrid, and Northern Ireland, SONI the
TSO in Northern Ireland, to study the effects of advanced ...

An important pre-processing stage in speech recognition systems is that of extracting phonetically pertinent acoustic features from the speech signal. These features form the basis for discriminative classification and ...

This paper summarises some of the main impacts of
large amounts of wind power installed in the island of Ireland.
Using results from various studies performed on this system,
it is shown that wind power will impact on ...

Distributed wind generation is growing on power systems across the world. It presents many well established technical issues in the distribution network, such as voltage rise, network reinforcement requirements or varying ...

Advances in the development of electric vehicles,
along with policy incentives will see a wider uptake of this
technology in the transport sector in future years. However, the
widespread adoption of electric vehicles ...

The distributed generation (DG) plant mix connected to any network section has a considerable impact on the total amount of DG energy exported and on the amount of losses
incurred on the network. A new method for the ...

Many countries have declared future renewable
energy penetration targets. Wind power connection to power systems is delayed by limited transmission system capacity as attractive wind sites are often located in weakly ...

We present a mixed-integer, linear programming model for determining optimal interconnection for a given level of renewable generation using a cost minimisation approach. Optimal interconnection and capacity investment ...

High penetrations of wind power on distribution networks
are causing voltage rise on many networks. This voltage
rise is limiting the permissible penetration levels of wind.
Numerous active control schemes have been ...

Renewable electrical energy grid connection is
hampered by transmission capacity limitations and public
opposition to new transmission development. This paper
presents a methodology to find the optimal positions on ...

This paper investigates the just-noticeable-difference (JND) for natural frequency of virtual second order dynamic systems. Using
a one degree-of-freedom haptic device, visual and/or haptic sensory feedback were presented ...
